What if you tried a new route to work for a week just to see what happened?

I drove a different way through the back streets of my town to avoid the usual traffic jam on Main Street, and it ended up adding 15 minutes to my commute because of school zones and stop signs. Now I'm stuck wondering if the stress of sitting in traffic is actually better than the longer drive with less aggravation. Which would you pick, a shorter trip that makes you angry or a longer one that's calmer?

Honestly I'd take the longer calm drive every time, traffic rage just ruins my whole day lol.

But what if you timed it to miss the school zones, @cameronmurray?

So that extra 15 minutes, is it all stop-and-go or is there any part of the new route you actually enjoy? Like, seeing different houses or less crazy drivers.
